Download or read book Minneapolis s Lake Street written by Iric Nathanson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As it cuts across South Minneapolis, Lake Street reflects the city's diversity and its rich history. Initially a narrow dirt road out beyond Minneapolis's early city limits, Lake Street evolved into a major transportation route after the turn of the last century. Spurred by the city's population boom during those early years, the Lake Street corridor soon filled in with retail shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and auto dealers. But Lake Street's role as a major commercial corridor did not last. Buffeted by the forces of suburbanization after World War II, businesses along the corridor began to close, leaving Lake Street pockmarked with vacant, blighted buildings. Then, starting in the 1990s, the seeds of the corridor's renewal were planted when an energetic group of new arrivals to the United States began renovating Lake Street's deteriorating storefronts for their family-owned businesses. Lake Street's rejuvenation has continued into the current century as business and community leaders build on the work begun by those 20th-century urban pioneers.

Download or read book Twin Cities by Trolley written by John W. Diers and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent development of light rail transit in the Twin Cities has been an undeniable success. Plans for additional lines progress, and our ways of shopping, dining, and commuting are changing dramatically. As we embrace riding the new Hiawatha light rail line, an older era comes to mind—the age when everyone rode the more than 500 miles of track that crisscrossed the Twin Cities. In Twin Cities by Trolley, John Diers and Aaron Isaacs offer a rolling snapshot of Minneapolis and St. Paul from the 1880s to the 1950s, when the streetcar system shaped the growth and character of the entire metropolitan area. More than 400 photographs and 70 maps let the reader follow the tracks from Stillwater to University Avenue to Lake Minnetonka, through Uptown to downtown Minneapolis. The illustrations show nearly every neighborhood in Minneapolis and St. Paul as it was during the streetcar era. At its peak in the 1920s and early 1930s, the Twin City Rapid Transit Company (TCRT) operated over 900 streetcars, owned 523 miles of track, and carried more than 200 million passengers annually. Recounting the rise and fall of the TCRT, Twin Cities by Trolley explores the history, organization, and operations of the streetcar system, including life as a streetcar operator and the technology, design, and construction of the cars. Inspiring fond memories for anyone who grew up in the Twin Cities, Twin Cities by Trolley leads readers on a fascinating and enlightening tour of this bygone era in the neighborhood and the city they call home. John W. Diers has worked in the transit industry for thirty-five years, including twenty-five years at the Twin Cities Metropolitan Transit Commission. He has written for Trains, and has served on the board of the Minnesota Transportation Museum. Aaron Isaacs worked with Metro Transit for thirty-three years. He is the author of Twin City Lines—The 1940s and The Como-Harriet Streetcar Line. He is also the editor of Railway Museum Quarterly.

Book excerpt: The Minneapolis lake district, which includes Lowry Hill, Kenwood, Lake of the Isles, and East Calhoun, has always attracted a unique mix of people. Some came to make their fortune, others to live a splendid life in what was then open country. Some came to build comfortable family homes, others to promenade along the lake shores or to revel in outdoor sports and recreation. No matter the year or the season, the lake district has always taken center stage in Minneapolis's urban life. David A. Lanegran and Ernest R. Sandeen give us the complete history of the area-from the early Native American villages and pioneering missionaries, through the era of the grand resort and the coming of the streetcars, to the park board's remaking of the lakes and the landscape in 1911. With many vivid photographs and illustrations, the book concludes with historical walking tours of the Lowry Hill, Kenwood, East Lowry Hill, Lake of the Isles, East Calhoun, and Cottage City neighborhoods. David A. Lanegran is professor and chair of geography at Macalester College.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please read the first chapter of the book Life Is Not Fair to get a better understanding of my biography. Before I grew up and met my husband, I had a typical childhood, with six brothers and four sisters, me being the middle child of eleven children. We lived on a forty acre farm in a small suburb north of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I did well in my elementary school, junior high and senior high school. After graduating from high school I was in a horrible deadly car accident, where four people died and I was disabled for almost a whole year. After that year I went to a community technical college taking the practical nursing course and did well also, I passed my State Boards first try. I was working as an LPN when I met Armand Chicoine, we dated on and off for about a year and a half when he proposed. After our marriage, life was perfect. The book then gives you most of the information regarding the time after our marriage up to and including the events regarding his murder. Since his death I have lived life waiting and hoping for something to come of this mystery. After seeing so many cold cases on TV and in Article in the Newspapers and/or books on this subject I thought I would write a book and hopefully get some help to solve my husbands Cold-Case Unsolved Murder. I started this book in 2002. Writing a book is not easy. I've had several Ghostwriters who wanted to write the story their way and not as it was. So they did not write this book. I hired three Ghostwriters who helped me to professionally put together this scrapbook. So the rest of the story starts here. Life Is Not Fair! I hope you like this book and you can help me find answers to my questions: Who did it and Why? If you have any information regarding my husband Armand P. P. Chicoines murder please get back to me at my Email address: [email protected].
